Dario Messana for Eros Cortina: this is the trade that Castellana Grotte and Heraclea Gela (B1) did. Cortina is on his way to the Sicilian club while Dario Messina will arrive today in Castellana. Dario had already played last season in A1 with Modena, Perugia and Latina but he had interrupted his season to be with his family. And that is precisely why the libero had turned down Castellana Grotte’s offer this summer.

Messana will bring great experience to the club. Following his debut in his hometown Catania, he then played for Vibo, Perugia, Verona (where he won A2 league and Cup), Modena and Latina. All he all, he counts 215 appearances in the Serie A.

“This is definitely an excellent and experienced athlete – said chairman Miccolis – We are gone after him this summer and we’re very happy that he accepted our renewed offer. This is the last player coming in that completes a roster that was already competitive. And with Lattari now here, we can turn things around after a difficult beginning of championship”.
